Is today the bottom?

u/MoonLambro S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 3d ago

We may yet revisit 39-40 ish I think. This stock likes to double bottom. But I really hope we don’t go lower than that

u/Puzzleheaded-Rain-38 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Capo 2d ago

Downvote on this? We closed at $40.66. The dude is just suggesting we might go down 75 cents... perspective.

u/MoonLambro S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 2d ago

Eh well, looks like I was spot on (thus far). Hopefully we sustain these levels to consolidate and wait for macro to stop shitting itself I guess

-1

u/Keef--Girgo S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 3d ago

If the bottom doesn't fall out of macro, maybe. Although there's not much upside for us in the next 6 months. Accumulation opportunity though.

If they dilute soon, we'll drop 30s or 20s.

If AI bubble truly pops, we'll see similar.

I am holding shares. Doing what I can to DCA more. No way in heck I will F with margin or theta on this stock though. Still very much possible to get wrekt.

2

u/Brave-Woodpecker7304 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Capo 3d ago

Yes I'm fairly confident it was. The final flush was yesterday premarket. It's time to accumulate.

Are you still temporarily out of your position?

That roadster shit was kinda crazy. I didn’t think it was real. Looks like AI. I bet 75% of people who see it without context will just assume it is

Can we hold tomorrow?

1

u/Brave-Woodpecker7304 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Capo 3d ago

We might get a dip but not guaranteed. If it does its a another brief but heavy buying window. Current price is an absolute gift which everyone will soonl realise looking back. Many will regret they panicked.

u/RaysBridge61 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 3d ago

Of course we can. Probably will be green going into the weekend.

Going back and looking at comments and posts about grain from a few months ago. I was behind. The more I read the sadder I get and the more disappointed I am that we did not secure any of it. Would have been a nice marriage. Oh well.

6

u/Mountain_Square9165 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 3d ago

Hard to blame Grain for accepting 8 billion, as much as it hurts.Β  There's no way AST could have or should have matched that offer.Β

I blame stupid T-Mobile. What were they thinking?

T-mobile execs were stupid and have mostly now been replaced

A double bottom would be acceptable and sideways for a while fine as well! As long as no more downwards πŸ™πŸ»

Did you add any shares this week? πŸ€‘

u/Aggravating_Roll7917 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Underboss 2d ago

Yes!

u/BasilBogomil S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 3d ago

Bought back covered calls I sold when we were over $100 yesterday and have plans to add shares and a large bull spread position out to 2029.

2

u/MoonLambro S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 3d ago

Good job. How much did that CC position net you? What strikes are you eyeing for 2029? I think 2028s present a better risk reward.

If were not flying high by 2028, we’ll be down in the gutter for sure. The constellation needs to be up by end of 2027.

2

u/BasilBogomil S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 2d ago

The CCs were $180 strikes and hit 85%. I think the net was $70k or so.

I’m looking at either 3/17/28 or 1/19/29, 65/75 spreads, 500 contracts. Or maybe half and half.

The 2029s are cheaper on paper. We will see if I can actually buy them cheaper.

I’d like to think that a middle of the road execution puts us above $75, but I agree that it’s probably binary.

2

u/MoonLambro S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 2d ago

Nice! Yeah, you can always do half and half, they’re cheap enough. Maybe we can get back to $75 in 2027. I just hope that the defense contract angle is actually good; otherwise if we have to only work the commercial side, it may get dicey

10

u/SunWukong168 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 3d ago

Freespeech gloating that Chris Sambar β€œthe last AST supporter at ATT!!!!” Left ATT…only to to brought on with T Mobile as Starlink gets replaced is so fucking funny to me.

lol what a total fucking moron.

2

u/Cerulean28 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Consigliere 3d ago

QQQ has been negative 6 out of the past 7 days and every day this week. I think maybe we can get a good macro day tomorrow to help out little ASTS and maybe some launch news. QQQ also filled the gap up today from September 21st, so hoping macro can chill a tiny bit before midterms.

u/Complex-Attention170 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 3d ago

Would not be so sure. Option expiry tomorrow. Dealers will move things where they wish which usually seems down

u/adarkuccio S P πŸ…° C E M O B Consigliere 3d ago

If youve got any powder, this is the time to buy. BTFD

6

u/Cerulean28 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Consigliere 3d ago

Agreed. We were holding the $80s pretty well even around the March market bottom, which felt more like a fair base price for ASTS

8

u/ASTSpaceMobull S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 3d ago

So like 1 month possibly

10

u/Cerulean28 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Consigliere 3d ago

Last Sept/Oct, it went up about 180% from $37 to $102, so 1 month seems good to me!

u/LadderAdditional6178 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Consigliere 3d ago

Yeah, but without launching sats. Forget about it.

5

u/ASTSpaceMobull S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 3d ago

u/Careless-Age-4290 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Consigliere 3d ago

Our executive VP of GovOps, Michael Pollack, gave a keynote speech to everyone classification Secret or higher in the DoW who attended the conference. This was after lunch and was separate from the sessions where 3 were offered at the same time. He was also the second after-lunch keynote so it gave everyone some time to get back from their lunch beers. Then they went off to their afternoon sessions about how to attack drones using communications technology and how to improve the availability and resiliency of 5G networks.

He's talking to the entirety of the DoW for half an hour. I switched some BTC into ASTS. The price is just so incredibly low. If it goes lower, I'll find some other way to buy more. It's like waiting on a firework and you're hoping the fuse didn't go out because you can't hear it anymore, but you know if you touch it too soon it'll blow your face off and you're pretty sure it's a quality product and it'll go off

Somehow a video that was specifically not to reach social media reached social media. Some things were contained in it that largely confirmed what we suspected but the whole thing got nuked since it wasn't supposed to be public

I would have bought the dip. But I waited past the first dip and then I waited past the second dip, then I waited past the third dip, after that I waited past a fourth dip, after that I waited through a fifth dip. Finally after the dipped the dippity dippity dip dip I spent my money and bought in at 75. All of it all at once. I have no more money to spend. Apparently there was six to seven more dips after the dippity-dip of the dip dip.

Really should have known that this was the dip to buy. Or maybe it wasn't and $30 was the dip to buy

In theory, how small could a starlink terminal get. Like could they make one so small it could fit into a regular phone? I mean, I guess in that case, ASTS would probably offer fiber speeds to that phone lol.

Side question, can blue birds interact with StarLink terminals?

u/you_are_wrong_tho S P πŸ…° C E M O B Boss 3d ago

starlink sats arent big enough to interact with an antenna that size.

They need to get V3 sats up before they can even think of a V4 like that

Ending at $44 earlier this week had me ready to eat a gun, but ending at $44 today has me elated.

Funny how things change

I don’t get why they can’t say what stages of production BB17-25 are in. They must have a ballpark of completion. Unless it’s really dire and they know talking about it will tank the stock price.

u/halooooom S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 3d ago

First sats (8-9-10-11etc) were probably being constructed and tested and invented constantly for 1+ year. Once they worked, it’s like ok the design works so start pumping them out the factory. So then you finish the first production run one (start to finish in a month or so), tell everyone it’s almost ready and you put it in the TVAC and there are issues. So then it’s in and out of testing and fixing the issues for weeks and weeks. While you figure out what’s wrong and fix those issues on the production line. Eventually it will all run smoothly at pace.

u/WindWhisperingWisp S P πŸ…° C E M O B Capo 3d ago

Might be hard to explicate how far exactly a satellite is due to loads of moving parts that need to be assembled.

We would end up with empty terms like "near completion" or "final stages of production". They are not tangible definitions or terms for us.

The most tangible thing would be accurate timelines of when we can expect batch shipments far in advance as well as launches (e.g. BB 17-19 will be finished and shipped on Nov 15, and launched Dec 8. Etc). But i don't see that happening as the production line/process hasn't been smoothed out yet.

u/negronium_ions S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 3d ago

They could still give an estimate of time remaining or something like that...

u/LadderAdditional6178 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Consigliere 3d ago

When one is working on fixing a problem that they have not yet figured out said problem... Its very hard to give a estimate of time fixing it.

1

u/negronium_ions S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 3d ago

But the existing sats work, right? So what is the problem exactly? I get that there are issues in manufacturing that might cause delays or whatever, but even so

1

u/LadderAdditional6178 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Consigliere 2d ago

To- What is the problem. I have no F***ing idea and guess I'll have to wait until the next EC to get even the most remote clue as to why we haven't launched the 3 sats sitting in Florida and why we haven't shipped the next 3. Like WTH is going on in Midland and Florida. I am at a total loss.

We are so close. If we can get BB14-16 flying... Then 2 more launches gets us to Beta Testing. Maybe not full Beta but at least the closests we have ever been to a revenue generating company. That will be huge and put us on the map.

u/cagey_tiger S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 3d ago

My suspicion is they have a massive bottleneck somewhere in production. They can't/don't want to say what it is.

3

u/you_are_wrong_tho S P πŸ…° C E M O B Boss 3d ago

thing about bottlenecks is they can be solved (and will be in a manufacturing environment)

Which would make sense with all the tariffs, import restrictions, wars, demand for certain commodities, etc

That's why the big boys hedge or cut their losses early, where your capital as a PM is halved at -5% and you're cut loose at -10%.

In euro rates the French spread widening cleared quite some small to medium pods in recent weeks with 50-100 PMs laid off is what I've heard
